Load balancing jobs

Would you recommend using Laravel Forge with Digital Ocean for load balancing, or just directly Digital Ocean load balancers? What are the advantages and drawbacks of each, including efficiency, ease of use and price? Any advice is welcome! Thanks.

@Annaro if new to this, I would say use forge. But first read any how to articles that digital oceans has, then decide.

They have a bunch of different how to type articles. Many covering Laravel. Their Nginx articles helped me when I was new to Linux.
